PHP

It is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML.

PHP

-is a server-side scripting language

-scripts are executed on the server

-supports many databases (MySQL, Informix, Oracle, Sybase, Solid, PostgreSQL, Generic ODBC, etc.)

-is open source software

-is free to download and use

PHP

-runs on different platforms (Windows, Linux, Unix, etc.)

-is compatible with almost all servers used today (Apache, IIS, etc.) >

-is FREE to download from the official PHP resource: www.php.net >

-is easy to learn and runs efficiently on the server side

MySQL

is a database server

is ideal for both small and large applications

supports standard SQL

compiles on a number of platforms

is free to download and use

<?php and ?> 

The PHP code is enclosed in special start and end processing instructions

server

PHP code is executed on the?

PHP echo() statement.

This program is extremely simple and you really did not need to use PHP to create a page like this. All it does is display: Hello World using the?

//

In PHP, we use ____ to make a single-line comment

/* “comment inside” *

In PHP, we use ____ to make a large comment

Variables

are used for storing values, like text strings, numbers or arrays.

$

All variables in PHP start with a ___ sign symbol

The concatenation operator (.)

is used to put two string values together.

1. Arithmetic

2. Assignment

3. Comparison

4. Logical

There are four classifications of operators:

if statement

use this statement to execute some code only if a specified condition is true

if…else statement

use this statement to execute some code if a condition is true and another code if the condition is false

if...elseif....else statement

use this statement to select one of several blocks of code to be executed

switch statement

use this statement to select one of many blocks of code to be executed

curly braces { }

If more than one line should be executed if a condition is true/false, the lines should be enclosed within?

break

Use _______ to prevent the code from running into the next case automatically.

array variable

is a storage area holding a number or text.

array

is a special variable, which can store multiple values in one single variable.

1. Numeric array

2. Associative array

3. Multidimensional array

In PHP, there are three kind of arrays:

Numeric array

An array with a numeric index

Associative array

An array where each ID key is associated with a value

Multidimensional array

An array containing one or more arrays

numeric array

stores each array element with a numeric index.

associative array

each ID key is associated with a value.

multidimensional array

each element in the main array can also be an array.

loops

Often when you write code, you want the same block of code to run over and over again in a row. Instead of adding several almost equal lines in a script we can use?

while loop

loops through a block of code while a specified condition is true

do...while loop

loops through a block of code once, and then repeats the loop as long as a specified condition is true

for loop

loops through a block of code a specified number of times

foreach

loops through a block of code for each element in an array

1. init

2. condition

3. increment

PHP Loops - For Parameters (3):

init

Mostly used to set a counter (but can be any code to be executed once at the beginning of the loop)

condition

Evaluated for each loop iteration. If it evaluates to TRUE, the loop continues. If it evaluates to FALSE, the loop ends.

increment

Mostly used to increment a counter (but can be any code to be executed at the end of the loop)

function (parang method sa java ata i2 eh)

To keep the script from being executed when the page loads, you can put it into a

function

will be executed by a call to the function.

parameters

To add more functionality to a function, we can add

$_GET function

is used to collect values from a form sent with method="get".

$_POST function

is used to collect values from a form sent with method="post".

8

However, there is an ___ Mb max size for the POST method, by default (can be changed by setting the post_max_size in the php.ini file).

htmlspecialchars()

makes sure any characters that are special in html are properly encoded so people can't inject HTML tags or Javascript into your page.

POST

Information sent from a form with the _______ method is invisible to others and has no limits on the amount of information to send

MySQL

MySQL

provides an interactive shell for creating tables, inserting data, etc.

\c

If you decide you don't want to execute a command that you are in the process of entering, cancel it by typing

SHOW

Use the _____ statement to find out which databases currently exist on the server

create database

To create a new database, issue the ____ _____ command:

§To the select a database, issue the “____” command

empty set

indicates that I have not created any tables yet.

show tables;

Once you have selected a database, you can view all database tables using the what command?

VARCHAR

Is usually used to store string data.

CREATE TABLE

To create a table, use the _______ ______ command:

show tables;

To verify that the table has been created:

DESCRIBE

To view a table structure, use the ___________ command:

DROP TABLE

To delete an entire table, use the ______ _____ command:

INSERT

Use the ________ statement to enter data into a table.

SELECT

The _______ statement is used to pull information from a table.

SELECT

The simplest form of _______ retrieves everything from a table

%

Used to match an arbitrary number of characters.

Reg Ex Example

Reg Ex Example

COUNT()

The _____ function counts the number of non-NULL results.

Retrieving Data

Chances are your application will spend the majority of its efforts retrieving and formatting requested data

mysqli extension

also offers the ability to manage result sets using both associative and indexed arrays using the fetch_array() and fetch_row() methods.

fetch_array() method

is actually capable of retrieving each row of the result set as an associative array, a numerically indexed array.

fetch_array()

retrieves both arrays; you can modify this default behavior by passing one of the following values in as the result type.

MYSQLI_ASSOC

Returns the row as an associative array, with the key represented by the field name and the value by the field contents.

MYSQLI_NUM

Returns the row as a numerically indexed array, with the ordering determined by the ordering of the field names as specified within the query

INSERT INTO 

is a statement that adds data to the specified MySQL database table

num_rows() method

is useful when you want to learn how many rows have been returned from a SELECT query statement
